Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 255812

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Aaron Slunt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Basically, you open the extension manager. If you scroll by clicking and
dragging the scrollbar, or using the mouse wheel, I have found that the CPU
usage maxes out to 100%, jumping all the way from 5% usage. This could cause
crashing with weaker computers.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Extension Manager and Windows' Task Manager
2.Scroll the Extension Manager while looking at the CPU usage on Task Manager
being maxed out
3.

Actual Results:  
CPU maxed out to 100%

Expected Results:  
Used a hella lot less CPU
